The Golden Dome crowns the Fatima Masumeh Shrine in Qom County, Iran, rising 14 metres above the sacred complex. Constructed from brick and mortar and clad in gold, the dome exemplifies the layered architectural heritage of Persian shrine design, synthesizing Seljuk, Safavid, and Qajar traditions. Its gleaming surface has made it one of Iran's most visually recognizable religious monuments, drawing pilgrims to one of Shia Islam's holiest sites.
